I’m a certified Pilates and Yoga Teacher and a Trauma-Informed, Somatic-Led Space Holder.
My work integrates evidence-informed movement principles with somatic awareness to support strength, mobility, coordination, and nervous system regulation.
My work is trauma-informed and somatic-led. This means you are never asked to return to traumatic memories or experiences. Instead, sessions are designed to support you in building a loving, compassionate, and supportive relationship with your body and with yourself – at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Through Pilates, yoga, mindfulness practices, somatic theory, and breath-led movement, we explore how to move in ways that are practical, sustainable, and responsive to your real life.
|Private sessions are designed to be practical, adaptable, and relevant to real bodies and real lives|
In our work together, you will learn:
- How your body acts as a powerful feedback system, offering information about effort, ease, tension, and support
- How to mobilise and engage specific body parts (muscles, joints, and bones) to create more efficient and long-lasting movement habits
- How to move as an integrated whole, rather than isolated parts, supporting coordination and ease
- How to develop a movement routine that is sustainable, adaptable, and realistic for your life
Pilates in private sessions
Pilates is the practice of developing precision, stability, and strength through controlled, breath-led movement. In a personalised setting, Pilates supports:
- Core and spinal support for daily movement
- Joint stability and controlled range of motion
- Improved movement efficiency and coordination
- Building strength without unnecessary strain
Rather than pushing for performance, Pilates becomes a way to learn how to move your body more effectively and with greater awareness.
Yoga in private sessions
Yoga supports the practice of union between mind, body, and breath. It creates space for you to explore both dynamic and relaxed movement, supporting:
- Increased body awareness and proprioception
- Flexibility and joint mobility
- Balance and coordination
- The ability to respond to challenge and recover with more ease
Yoga also invites space for wobble, pause, and self-inquiry – reinforcing your capacity to meet instability and find your own way back to steadiness (on and off your mat).
Nervous system support and embodiment
Both Pilates and yoga include practices that support nervous system regulation and present-moment awareness. This helps to:
- Reduce chronic stress patterns held in the body
- Improve your capacity to settle after effort or activation
- Support a sense of safety, presence, and belonging in your body
Together, these practices create a holistic and rhythmic approach to movement. Over time, this supports your body in becoming more adaptable, more capable, and more comfortable in day-to-day life.
How my approach is different
Rather than delivering a fixed routine, I adapt each session based on:
- How your body is moving on that day
- Your energy, stress levels, and needs
- Your movement history and current capacity
This allows us to progress safely and steadily, while respecting your nervous system and physical limits. The aim is not to override your body, but to work with it!
Private sessions offer a grounded, non-judgemental space to rebuild connection with your body, develop practical movement skills, and cultivate trust in your own physical experience.
An inclusive, non-performative space
You do not need to be flexible, strong, calm, “a pilates princess” or “good at yoga” to work with me. You do not need to look a certain way or understand the language of wellness.
Private sessions offer a straightforward, respectful way to move, strengthen, and reconnect with your body (without pressure, judgement, or expectation to perform).
If you’re looking for movement support that is skilled, personalised, and grounded in how real bodies work, private Pilates and yoga sessions provide a clear and supportive place to start.
